Dragon Age: Inquisition Is Bioware's Most Successful Launch Ever
Bioware are one of the best developers of creating epic scale adventure with compelling narrative. That's a potent mix, especially when supported by the quality of content they are synonymous for.
I have to say though, I'm a little surprised by the news Dragon Age: Inquisition is the developer's most successful launch ever. Gamespot reported that during last night EA confrence call, the publisher's CFO Blake Jorgensen said:
In particular, Dragon Age: Inquisition had by far the most successful launch in BioWare's history, exceeding our expectations. In addition, game sales for last-generation consoles were also much stronger than we had anticipated
When compared to Mass Effect, Dragon Age has always been a much smaller franchise. That's why I'm surprised that the game outsold Mass Effect 3.
That's good though. It shows that people buy quality games that have good buzz. A lot of those players would have been jumping into the franchise for the first time, and I'd dare say a lot of them came out enjoying it.
